    Appalling from @virginmedia today! The whole network in shambles today, no one working from has been able to do anything! Just spent 40 minutes listening to Footlose in their phone queue and as I got to the front, they put the phone on me! Absolute shambles!

    Hey @virginmedia I already am paying more with this new package I was forced to take to renew my contract recently and now you want to force me to pay £7 MORE a month?! Also why can I not get a human on the phone?! I refuse to pay a penny more. Fix this nonsense.

    @virginmedia 20 hours of being passed around your customer ‘care’ teams and no progress. And yet I doubt this is even close to a record.

    Your website for checking status is not loading. Can you verify if there are known issues with broadband in the se3 area. Thanks @virginmedia

    @IanSlaterPhoto1 @VixThatRuns I have a sizeable Samsung. Ditched Virgin Media, the plan was to have Freeview. The tv doesn’t support Freeview!

    @virginmedia Customer services are unexperienced and not read to help also. They keep repeating same things

  • Champion3Claire
    Claire Champion (@Champion3Claire) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I think you will have to agree this is an unacceptably long time for the repair as it’s already been going on for days?? “There's a TV issue in xxx. Thanks for your patience while we work to fix things as quick as we can. We hope to fix this by 14 March at 16:00”

    Shockingly bad experience (again) from @vmbusiness @vmbusinesshelp - “upgrade” yesterday has wiped out my Wi-Fi - engineer coming next week. Couldn’t make it up, these cowboys really are the worst

    This is what I get for being a customer for over 8 continuous years and then 5 years before that. This is awful customer service by Virgin media. #Virginmedia @virginmedia

    Nick Tippett (@nicktippett) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Might I add that the last handler in pre install stated he was a 'senior' and he was incredibly rude, talking over me and trying to tell me what my problem was!

    @virginmedia is there a fault in the SW20 area? No internet since last night and your service checker is not working either.

  • ninepine
    Mike Fuller (@ninepine) reported from Kingswood, England

    .@virginmedia - well done. Definitely the worst and most customer hostile new login system to my unwanted "Virgin Media O2 ID". So badly designed your email points to an invalid URL of to manage this insanity. Who approved or tested this? Total fail.

  • Nigelellway

    @virginmedia You're internet is down *again* in sw9 and your internet service checker page does not work on mobile phones

  • Deano1969
    Deano (@Deano1969) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia So. Would you like me to provide details of the complaint? My reference number maybe? Somewhere to direct message? Or do I just waste a huge amount of time hanging on the line to get back to where I started?

    This is a set ‘bot’ message that just replaces the name each time….. if @virginmedia can ‘bot’ people and respond ‘so quickly’, why’s it taken a WEEK to sort the same issues as last weekend. Shite service that we’re paying top dollar for!!

  • anthodges
    Ant Hodges (@anthodges) reported

    @virginmedia No inconvenience - I’m asking if I can charge you if your engineer cancels on me and wastes my time as you had to remind me many time that I would have to pay you of if I cancelled - I think it’s only fair that I can if you cancel.

    @bmstewart2004 This is exactly why I cancelled my Virgin Media subscription and moved to BT over 5 years ago. My bill went down from over £100 a month to £42 a month. When my contract is up for renewal I make contact and negotiate a deal. I am now paying £39 a month for broadband & TV package.
